  3. @SipsyI know how you feel. I bought this driver only 2 weeks before it went tits up. While I understand that some things are out of their hands, I still feel like I would be justified in asking for a refund. I had not expected to pay $150 for a driver that was only going to work for 2 weeks. I've been trying to wait patiently for the issue to get resolved but at this point I'm losing my faith in the one and only programmer who's supposed to be able to fix this. Family issues aside, after 4 months, I would hope that he/she could put some time into this. I also understand that all I gotta do is buy an older generation echo dot and I should be back up and running. But that feels like a cop-out. I've been holding out for a fix for so long now, I'm digging in my heels and refusing to spend another cent in order to receive the "benefits" that this driver provides over the native C4 driver.
  4. I'm not sure what you mean by "2 button keypad or...?" But in terms of your programming suggestion, so far that's what I've done. It looks like I also need to add to that changing of the LED colors to reflect the on/off state. I guess that's not so bad. If I ever get my Alexa driver working then I'll also need to add that programming to the Alexa event as well. I guess that's all there is to it. Thanks!
  5. I've connected a card access relay to a fireplace so that it can turn it on and off through programming. The annoying thing is that there's still a low voltage standard light switch that can be used to manually turn the fireplace on as well. The problem is if it's manually turned on with the light switch then the card access relay can't turn the fireplace off. So what I've done is I've removed the light switch and put a 2-button relay in its place, and disconnected the low voltage wires. The intent is for the 2-button relay to command the cardaccess relay to open or close. I'd like the 2-button relay to behave like a normal light switch as well. So when the fireplace is on I want the top LED to be Blue and the bottom LED off. Vice versa if the fireplace is off. I had assumed I could just bind the 2-button keypad to the card access relay in the same way you can bind it to another C4 dimmer. That doesn't appear to be possible though. I get the feeling I'm missing a step here.
  6. I need them for IR control of some old TVs, a projector, a soundbar, and combination sony surround sound / dvd player. I think the truth is I'm too damn cheap to upgrade my TVs to smart TVs with IP control. I purposely didn't renew my 4sight subscription in favor of using the Epic-Systems driver. So In order to go back to the c4 skill I'd have to renew that too.
  7. So I'm on 2.10.6. I have three HC-250s in my project and Gen2 echos. If I'm understanding correctly, I have to upgrade to 3.0 in order to get my Gen2 echos to work again? In order to upgrade to 3.0 I have to replace all three of my HC-250s to EA series controllers. As I understand it, HC-250s are not allowed in software version 3.0. I suspect upgrading to 3.0 will cost well over $1000, and all that just so that I can get my echos to work again. or buy gen1 echos. Or...wait until your partner updates the driver to work with 2.10.6. Has he made any progress on this?
  8. I think I may have fixed it. I ended up deleting both my new Wireless Dimmer (Pool Table) and the Leg Lamp Generic Relay and Belkin Wemo Plug. I then re-added the Wireless Dimmer and it appears to be okay. The Leg Lamp Generic Relay and Belkin Wemo Plug weren't even being used at this point in time. It was in place last year during the Christmas holiday season.
  9. Leg Lamp is just a generic relay bound to a Belkin Wemo Plug. I don't see why it'd conflict with my new dimmer.
  10. Pool Table is the Wireless Dimmer I'm trying to add. If I select it under the Connections section it doesn't indicate that it's bound to anything, but neither do the other wireless dimmers. Is it the binding ID that it's choking on and not the connections? How do I change the binding ID?
  11. I believe it's Zigbee Pro. It shows up in the Zigbee network after I've identified it. It's also running firmware version 3.20.14. Its been part of this project in the past, just not for a long time.
  12. I have a system on 2.10.6. There are many wireless dimmers that are model LDZ-101 and LDZ-102 in the system and operating properly. I'm having trouble adding an additional LDZ-102 to the project and I've just noticed that its driver is found under the "Discontinued Products" section. Does this mean that, even though there are existing and properly functioning wireless dimmers, it's not possible to add new wireless dimmers? Each time I add the wireless dimmer the project it fails to validate and indicates that its binding is conflicting with the binding of some other device or simply that it's not bound at all.
  13. vOkay, So I've updated to the v2 driver and the documentation tab indicates that I have version 200. Now I'm trying to reprogram everything, but it won't allow me to recreate my triggers. The "delete Triggers" drop down is empty. Is there something I missed? The Lua tab is showing the following error: Adding new trigger named: Alexa Routines Error duplicate Trigger name: Alexa Routines
  14. Just read the update on the website. One quick question. The update states that "this is due to a firmware update that Amazon is rolling out to older Echo Dot (Gen 2) devices." If I were to upgrade my Echo Dot to a newer generation would this be enough to get me up and running without the need to update my driver?
  15. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I could have checked the website first. My apologies. I'll standby for an update.
  16. A few weeks ago I got the Epic-Systems Echo driver installed and working. And then I went on a business trip and as these things typically go, while I'm away, something breaks. This time it appears to be the Alexa integration. Whenever I ask Alexa to perform any task related to my system it says it's not responding. I've gone into the alexa.amazon.com account and told it to forget everything. I then told it to discover devices and at the same time sent discovery from the driver. Alexa rediscovered all of my devices but it's still stating that they're not responding. Not sure what to do at this point.
  17. This is absolutely brilliant! I appreciate the step-by-step. I definitely needed it. This would also be the first time I've written a macro in C4 as well. Didn't know that was possible. Thank you so much!
  18. So let me make sure I understand. You're using the Alex app on your phone (or on their website) to create the various routines you want and then you use the Epic System driver to trigger the routine? or is it the other way around, is the Alexa Routine triggering the Epic Systems driver to execute your programming? I'm not sure I can wrap my head around that. How do you get an Alexa Routine to trigger an event in Control4? I guess I'll have to play with this a bit more.
  19. So you can make a one time payment of $150 rather than an annual payment of $100. At least that was my justification. The only reason I maintained a 4sight subscription was for the Alexa integration. Unless you’re paying for 4sight for other reasons then I think it makes sense to buy their driver.
  20. I also assume that in order for this driver to replace the 4Sight driver I have to have the voice-scenes driver removed from the project. Is that correct? I also recognize that some of the things I want to do are things that even the 4Sight driver can't do. What about "Mute"? I've used the set trigger to set the volume in a room, but what about just saying mute? I know the 4Sight driver can in fact perform that one, but can the Epic-Systems driver do that?
  21. So my 4Sight license is expiring tomorrow and so I've gone ahead and purchased the Echo-Systems Echo driver. I've performed the basic programming for lights and volume control in the rooms where it's applicable. I've also created a trigger to turn on Pandora and have it play the last station. I'm not sure how to accomplish some other things I want to be able to do. These are: Specify the Pandora station that I want to listen to in the room. I'd like to say, "Echo, turn on (or play) Pandora <station name>". Tell Echo to pause, play, skip, Fast Forward or Rewind the current media in the room. Tell Echo to play a specific Movie or TV Show on Kodi (using the Chowmain Kodi Driver). I think that's all I can think of for now. Has anyone figured out how to program these events?
  22. What kind of network switch did you have? How did you come to discover it was your switch? Were you rebooting both your cable modem and your switch in order to get internet back up?
  23. I'm using Comcast's crap (TG1682G) only as a cable modem. I've put it in Bridge mode so the pfsense router is the device that actually receives the public IP lease. While in Bridge mode all of the extra features of the modem are disabled. The cable modem is maybe 1 year old. Might need new firmware...I'll have to look into that.
  24. When the “internet dies” is it just WiFi for hardwired Ethernet too? Hardwired ethernet too. Are you using the Comcast gateway for your modem? I'm using Comcast's TG1682G combo wifi router and cable modem. It's in Bridged mode though so it's only behaving as a cable modem. I've also disabled the WIFI on it. I'm using my own WIFI Access Point. What are you using for your router? My router is a Pfsense Virtual Machine running inside of a VMware ESXi server (Dell R610). You have it on a battery back up (UPS)? Is everything for your network on this? The UPS is supplying power backup for the cable modem, the ESXi Server, and my WIFI AP. Do you have their TV service? Does that “die” too? I do not have their TV service. I only want internet service from them. They keep trying to sell me on their streaming crap though. if you’re using the X1 platform do you have the proper cable distribution/amp installed? Or is you CATV just haphazardly run all over the place and have basic 1000mhz splitters? Nothing in my house is connected to coaxial cable with exception to the Cable Modem. Do you live in a rural area? Construction nearby? Are you at the end of a dead end road? I'm in a basic suburban neighborhood. No construction nearby. new issue or ongoing for more than 2 months? Kind of a new issue as of about 2 months ago. There are so many unknowns that could be causing this. Main thing is tho, rebooting shouldn’t be necessary. Indeed. Rebooting should not be necessary. Here's a diagram of my home network if you're interested: https://imgur.com/a/rG8T7MB
  25. I guess I could look into replacing the one I have with one that supports that feature. Any recommended models for $100?
